India visit & T20 hope - 'belief' lifts Ireland
Outgoing Cricket Ireland chief executive Warren Deutrom says a "sense of belief" has been key to the changing status of the sport in the country. The Englishman, who will leave the organisation this month, has been in the position since September 2006, and overseen elevation to full member status of the ICC, historic World Cup victories over Pakistan, England and West Indies, and the advent of professional contracts in the men's and women's game. "When I arrived, I think I was one of the very few people who did believe," he told BBC Sport NI's Gavin Andrews. "I think our players got it, I think they definitely saw the talent that was here and they believed - and you saw that from their performances on the pitch. "My job was probably to try to get Irish cricket not to think of itself as the 19th English county, but to think of itself, as it became soon after the end of the World Cup in 2007, as the 10th best country in the world." Plan aims to make cricket a 'major sport' in Ireland Irish government approves national cricket stadium While there have been more recent budgetary concerns and fixture cancellations, Deutrom believes there is an exciting future for his unnamed successor with attempts to host India next year, the joint staging of the 2030 T20 World Cup and, most importantly, approved plans for a 4,000-capacity permanent stadium. "The next five years - [In] 2026 we hope we can have India turning up. I'm going to be working on that over the next few weeks," he added. "Also 2027 is the first year of our new media rights deal and, 2028, cricket is returned to the Olympics after a long, long time. [In] 2029, the first ball bowled in our brand new international stadium in Dublin and, 2030, co-hosting the ICC T20 World Cup. "There's lots of skyscrapers on an annual basis to look forward to and, genuinely, to build in terms of opportunity. So if I was looking at that job anew, I'd say that is a job I'd love to do." 'You suddenly are bringing people to your home' Ireland cancelled visits from Australia in 2024 and Afghanistan this year, with Deutrom citing at the time that the prohibitive cost of temporary stadium infrastructure was a key factor in the decisions. As such, the plans for a permanent and dedicated home are crucial. The National Cricket Stadium and High Performance Centre, which will be located in the National Sports Campus in Dublin, is to include a main cricket oval with permanent seating for 4,000 spectators with the ability to accommodate additional temporary seating when required. There are also ambitions to upgrade the existing facilities at Stormont in Belfast too. "Operationally, suddenly it means hundreds of thousands [of euros] that we would otherwise spend on developing or building temporary infrastructure goes," added Deutrom. "So that is number one and number two, you have an asset you can [use] commercially. "Number three, I've always felt the lack of a stadium somehow marked out Irish cricket as a minnow sport. When we have a stadium, you are suddenly bringing people to your home."

Charting the Global Economy: A Split Bank of England Cuts Rates
The Bank of England reduced interest rates to a more than two-year low in a closer-than-expected decision that leaves investors with what Governor Andrew Bailey called 'genuine uncertainty' on its next move. In the US, the services sector effectively stagnated last month as sluggish demand and higher input costs prompted companies to reduce employment — the latest evidence of a slowing economy.

Bank of England chief says no rift with UK government as Revolut licence delay draws scrutiny
LONDON — Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey told CNBC there hasn't been a "falling out" with the U.K. government over delays to fintech giant Revolut's long-awaited bank license. Last week, the Financial Times reported that a meeting arranged by British Finance Minister Rachel Reeves with Revolut and the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) — an arm of the BOE that oversees banks — was cancelled after an intervention from Bailey. Authorizing Revolut as a fully licensed bank has become an important issue for the U.K. government, particularly as key figures in the tech industry have challenged tax changes that affect the wealthy. However, in an interview with CNBC's Ritika Gupta on Thursday, Bailey denied any suggestion that relations between the BOE and Treasury had soured over delays to Revolut's bank license approval process. "There's been no falling out between [Reeves] and I on this, or indeed on anything," he said. "Actually, we have very good relations, and I think both the Bank and the Treasury have made that clear." Bailey added that while he couldn't comment too much on Revolut specifically, the Prudential Regulation Authority is working things through with the digital banking startup during its "mobilization" process. The fintech giant was granted a banking license with restrictions in July 2024 from the U.K.'s PRA, bringing an end to a years-long application process that began back in 2021. This key victory moved Revolut into what's known as the "mobilization" phase of a company's journey toward becoming a full-fledged bank. During this period, firms are limited to holding only £50,000 of total customer deposits — well below the hundreds of billions of pounds customers deposit with major high street lenders such as Barclays, HSBC and Santander. Revolut customers in the U.K. are also still served by the company's e-money unit, instead of its banking entity. This means they are not directly insured by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, which protects customers up to £85,000 if a firm fails. Delays to Revolut have been a point of contention for the government, which has come under fire from the U.K. tech industry for not doing enough to ensure the country can compete effectively with the U.S. and other key hubs. Bailey stressed that there was "no trade off between financial stability and growth in the economy." However, he suggested that he was open to rule changes to enable the fintech sector to flourish. "We are very open to making changes where they're appropriate," he said.
